Update Allegra - Google Update 2-2-2005

[illusionist]

My site which came back on december 26 update, seems to have disappeared again on this data center [216.239.53.99...] . Its notwhere to be found even in allinanchor, allintitle etc? I see majot change on that data center, is this a new update?

hm didn't anyone notice that it google is updateing the index and relations between websites. as example we have a price comparision, this site has a unique name. we also have a unique price comparison for dvds with an own domain. if you search for the unique name at google you only find the dvd comparison, the real domain is at #15, but thats NORMAL! google is updating the relations/links domain for domain. google tries to spider every page new for this update. your domain will come back with its name when google updates the links for this domain. it can take several days like at my domain .google made a directory update as well. so this is a superman update.
for me its amazing how fast google updates this superman update, but i think it will take another week till the all serps/domains are updatet

Linux, I think what you are saying is that x.com has not been processed for this new update yet and that once it is processed, then it will return to the spot it deserves in the rankings. I hope you are right, but I've got a bad feeling that it's been overlooked and they are not going to correct it.

In the meantime, I have found a knockoff site of x.com, where they just put the pages on their server and everything is the same except now it's y.com, not x.com.

This hijacking domain is www.excite.co.jp. I have seen other postings complaining about them. In fact, I found two of my sites on there. If anybody knows what the deal is with them, can you sticky me? Can something like this account for being knocked down in the SERPS undeservedly?

There is so much traffic out there, that I really wish everyone the best with this latest update...

But clearly Google is struggling. MSN and Yahoo can easily connect my website with its own name. Since December Google cannot get me to #1, which shows a vulnerability of their algo. After sitting at around 150 for a month it moved up to #4 recently. After this update it now sits around #55 - and that is not even the home page.

My sandboxed site offers a very unusual section that MSN and Yahoo quickly put at #1. I am not even in the top 1,000 for this keyphrase on Google.

Maybe the it's the hangovers from the ski trip, but they are in sad shape. After witnessing these poor results myself, I have already switched over to Yahoo.

It's been common in the recent past for sites to temporarily disappear altogether, briefly, as datacenters shake up. I expect that is what a lot of people are seeing. If you appear on no datacenter, obviously that isn't good, but missing from some probably means nothing.

I've got two awol sites, but they are only awol on half the datacenters, so I don't think it means much, especially considering how sandboxed sites seem to be coming out gradually, definitely not all at once.

What passes for SE optimism these days: when they mush it altogether, maybe it won't suck.

I still do good at these DCs:

64.233.171.99
64.233.171.104
64.233.171.105
64.233.171.147

left over or some ray of hope? Come on Google....

Me too walkman...

me too ...

hope this update will not stick - it would be a joke. my site has been wiped out from the index.

"I wonder how many webmasters see the other side of the coin on this, i.e. the results look good."

My traffic is up about 30% since Allegra hit, so the other side of the coin looks fine to me. :-)

so, what do we make of this? Our sites got lost or maybe the DCs haven't been synched yet? grasping at straws.
